- 1 medium onion, peeled and finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
- ½ to 1 teaspoon chilli powder or to taste
- 1 x 400g (14 oz) can of plum tomatoes, chopped

- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
to garnish
- 1 small red pepper or a few spring onions, chopped (optional)
Method
- Heat the oil in a pan, give it a good grind of black pepper and then sauté the onion and garlic until it softens and starts to take some colour, about 5 minutes.

- Add the tomatoes, stock, molasses, mustard and the beans. Bring to the boil vigorously, uncovered for 15 minutes stirring now and then. Simmer for longer if you want a thicker consistency.

- Roast the red pepper, remove the seeds and pith and chop into slices
Serving suggestions
Garnish with chopped red pepper, or spring onions and serve with bread or boiled rice. The cold rice in moulds was an especially good contrast with this dish.
Variations
Use any variety of beans or pulses. Chick peas are nice with this.
